RFC 5102 and its Errata[1] several times messed with a bit numbering.
"Options are mapped to bits according to their option numbers.
Option number X is mapped to bit X."
But actually it's in inverted order.
"A misunderstand arose as to whether bits were assigned in host order
or network order - so clarify that the bits are assigned from the
least significant to the most significant, ie right-to-left rather
than left-to-right."
That's about bit numbering in diagram. So final correct options mask is (from
Errata 2944):
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
